Meeting up with my partner in a few days in SFO and then off to OGG
Me: 1k, Revenue ticket, applied PP and #2 on UG list with 12 of 16 booked
Partner: Award ticket, offered UG for $500

737-9Max... and as of now, we have window and aisle with no one in between

..and yes, I would prefer to sit next to partner
...and would probably decline UG if just me - although, might offer it to partner

or do I pay the 500 and risk dying on the list?
